![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | Failed TV Pilot: "Meet The O'Briens" (1954) Failed TV pilot called "Meet The O'Briens". Made in 1954, This TV pilot seems more like a 40's comedy short than a 50's TV program. It's easy to see why this wasn't picked up, As although it is fairly funny, they would of ran out of storylines quickly. I don't know much about this pilot. If anyone could get some info on this pilot, that would be useful. Keywords: Classic TV; Failed Pilot; Early Television Downloads: 5,286 Average rating: (10 reviews) |  |
![[movies]](/images/mediatype_movies.gif) | Failed TV Pilot: 'Time Out for Ginger' (Unknown Year) A failed TV pilot called "Time Out for Ginger", based on the play of the same name. Slightly surreal and confusing, It's easy to see why this pilot wasn't turned into a series, Although this pilot is still watchable, with a special guest star that makes it worth downloading. Well below the standards of the time! Keywords: Classic TV; Retro; Failed TV Pilot; Failed TV Pilots; TV; Television; Rare; Flop Downloads: 5,495 Average rating: (17 reviews) |  |
